XL4 - Our Most Advanced 1⁄4 DIN All-in-one Controller

The XL4 All-in-One controller with a built-in 32,000
colour TFT touch screen, I/O-Modules, networking options, removable
MicroSDCard and USB ports. Programmable by Horner APG's industry
recognised Cscape software, XL4 can control a wide range of
different processes and machines from small to medium
applications.

3.5″ Colour Touchscreen

The XL4 is in the same ¼ DIN form factor as our extremely popular
XLe & XLt. The XL4 LCD TFT Display is in full colour with QVGA
resolution. Screens previously developed for the XLe & XLt can
be upscaled automatically and then enhanced. In addition - XL4
screen updates are extremely fast.

Full Ethernet Built into Every Unit

The XL4 model now has 100Mbps Ethernet built into every model. No
special add-ons or accessories are needed. The XL4 Ethernet support
includes an integrated Web Server, FTP Host, Email, Modbus/TCP
Master/Slave, Programming, and much more. You can create your own
mobile friendly web-apps, access logged data, and setup the device
to work on your network. Now's that's what we call an All-In-One
Controller!

Online Programming & High-Speed USB 2.0

The XL4 includes both a USB Host port and a USB On-the-go Port -
each at USB 2.0 speeds (480Mbps). The Host Port allows connection
of removable FLASH drives, supporting drives up to 2TB. The
On-the-go Port provides the fastest communications interface for
Programme Change on Line (Online Change). The XL4 supports true
Online Programming - allowing the logic program to be modified
on-the-fly without entering stop mode. That's invaluable for
machine and process modifications.

Advanced High Speed Counter (upto 500kHz)

The XL4 features Advanced High Speed Counting & Analog
Specifications. The 2 channel High Speed Counter accepts
frequencies exceeding 500kHz, supporting a variety of modes
including Totalizing, Quadrature, Pulse Measurement, Frequency
Counting and Setpoint Controlled Outputs. The 0-10V / 4-20mA
Analogue Input resolution has been increased from 10-bit to 12-bit
for most models, with 14/16-bit resolution for the Model 5 and
14/17bit for the Model 6.

For a wide range of Applications

As a compact, powerful controller, XL4 can be used in literally
thousands of applications from Machines to Mobile and Process
Control Applications. High-speed Ethernet, CANBus and Modbus
options offer you the perfect networking mix.

The XL Series comes with a wide range of field
installable add-on communications options. You can select from the
following: 10/100MBit Ethernet, GSM/GPRS cellular, telephone modem
and radio modems. All options support remote Cscape™ programming,
Modbus master and slave and OPC. The GSM/GPRS cellular also support
Modbus/TCP slave. A GPS receiver unit is also available for mobile
applications.

I/O Expansion

XL4 I/O expansion is not limited to its
Built-in I/O. SmartStix and SmartBlock are a high-speed CAN based
I/O and can be distributed over distances of up to 1km. SmartMod
based I/O is a cost effective solution of adding a few points of
extra I/O to complement the On Board I/O. The Ethernet port allows
large numbers of I/O to be added using the SmartRail Ethernet
I/O system

Applications

As a compact, powerful controller, the XL4 can be used in
literally thousands of applications. From OEM machine control to
machine monitoring in a plant environment, the XL
Series can be instrumental in keeping you or your
customer's automation activities running smoothly. Future expansion
is not a concern because the XL4 is part of the wide-ranging
OCS product line - programmable throughout
with a single FREE software package, Cscape™.

Customisation

OCS is designed to look like a "generic"
operator station, fitting in with most cabinet and console designs
and color schemes. But sometimes adding an individualized look can
mean a world of difference in the overall usefulness of an operator
station and the marketing of your machine or system.

A number of an XL series analogue input
channels can be converted to support a thermistor input.There is a possibility of conversion to a maximum of 4
input channels. Please contact us if you are
interested.
